Learning outcomes
At the end of this course, students are supposed to have learnt
some basic notions in abstract algebra (Euclidean algorithm and
congruence relations) and in linear algebra. They will be able to
solve linear systems and to study linear maps.
Course contents
Linear Systems
Matrices
Gaussian elimination
Real vector spaces and subspaces
Linear maps
Eigenvalues and eigenvectors
Diagonalization of matrices
Modular arithmetic, congruence classes modulo n
Readings/Bibliography

Teaching methods
Lectures and exercises will be alternated in order to explain
theoretical concepts through a large number of examples. Students
will be asked to actively participate in the lessons, asking and
answering questions.
Assessment methods
The exam is both written and oral. Students are admitted to the oral
exam after passing the written exam with at least 16/30. If a student passes the written exam, he/she mast take the oral ezxam either in the same "appello" or in the following one. People who
receive less than 8/30 in the written exam, cannot take the exam in
the following "appello". If a stucdent does not pass the oral exam, he/she must repeat the written exam.
The final vote is not the result of the arithmetic mean between the
written and oral tests but rather the result of an overall
assessment of the preparation of
the student, based on the written test which has, therefore, a
decisive weight. The subjects of the examination are all and only
those of the lectures
and listed in the programme available in the Professor's web page
dedicated to the course.
Teaching tools
Exercises and samples of exam texts will be given.
